This shredder was selected as The Best by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute for its superior security and quiet operation. Unlike lesser strip-cut models that only obscure information minimally and become clogged easily, this commercial shredder chews through 14 sheets of paper at one time and completely destroys CDs and credit cards. The shredder’s 1 hp motor and two steel counter-rotating, micro-cutting gears cut paper into 1/4" x 1/4" unrecognizable confetti. Credit cards and CDs are cut into pieces impossible to reassemble or decipher. When shredding 10 sheets, this unit registered only 61.9 db (no louder than normal conversation), far superior to noisy models that generated 80.5 db. Its 8 1/2-gallon bin—the largest of all tested models—pulls out from the cabinet for easy emptying. Rolls smoothly on four hooded casters. With auto-start/stop and reverse. 25 1/2" H x 15 1/2" W x 12" D. (34 lbs.)

I owned one of those strip cut shredders and I could see personal info after items were shredded. No more of that, the confetti like contents in the bin following shredding is worth the price I paid. This is also very quiet which is certainly a welcome feature after having a very noisy shredder in the past. Thank You HS for your superiour products.

I use this at home to shred financial documents and other forms that have personal information. It shreds extremely well and does it so quietly. What a difference from my last shredder. The bin is large and holds a lot of paper. The feeder slot is angled for safety. I did notice that after emptying the paper, the bin goes in easier if you push toward the bottom not the top. Very happy with my purchase.

I have 50 years of personal files and pictures to reduce to thumb drives and shredding (which will be turned into burning bricks). first week of use has gone well and I expect it to do the whole job. It's large size is great for easy reach from chair. It is quiet enough that I can still listen to a book or watch a TV show. The wheels allow you to drag it close for work and push it away when you want to get up. It would be overkill for light home use but seems to be a workhorse for the larger job. Also cuts into small squares that should be too much trouble for someone to try to reconstruct.
